FISHERY CORRESPONDENCE.
secretary Bayard's Proposition to
the British Government.

NEW YORK, May 5.-The Washington
correspondent of the Times sends to that
paper copy of a letter from Secretary
OF State Bayard to Minister Phelps at Lon
don, enclosing the draft of proposed treaty
between the United States and Canada on
the fishery controversy, the publication of
which is said to be authorized by the Secre-
tary.
The treaty calls for the appointment of a
mixed commission to agree upon the limits
which shall separate the exclusive from the
common right of fishing off the coasts of the
a1,fss.S,s. a1,sssSs North American colonies; to agree
upon regulations 10 secure sseegsr to the fishermen
of the United States the privilege or piftsssr- iss
ing bays and harbors for the purpose of
shelter, repair and purchasing wood and
water, and to agree upon penalties for the
violation of such privileges.
Pending a definite settlement, Great Britain
agrees to instruct Canadian officials not to
molest fishing vessels of the United States,
unless they are found actually fishing within
three miles of the coast. Both governments
agree to each send to the Gulf of st. Law
renee national vessel, and also one each to
cruise during the fishing season on the south
ern coast of Nova Scotia.
When vessel is seized the matter shall be
reported to the officer in command of one of
these national vessels, who in conjunction
with the commander of said vessels shall
constitute q court of INQUIRY. If both are of
the opinion that the seizure was not for good
cause the vessel shall be released, and in the
event OF difference of opinion between conf
manders third person shall be selected to
act as umpire.
1t is proposed to give to fishing vessels the
same commercial privileges in Canadian
ports as are enjoyed by other United States
vessels, including the purchase of bait and
supplies. All vessels now under seizure for
alleged violation of the fishery law to be re-
leased and all fines exacted in such cases
the appointment of joint commission to
ascertain the amount of damage to American
fishermen during the year 1886 by seizure and
otherwise, said commission to make awards
therefor to the vessels injured.

New London people are fond of telling
about Gov. Walters early romance. II
seems that when Mr.. Waller was yet strug-
Cling as an impecunious law clerk. long be-
fore he had begun to lift his head above the
crowd, he fell in love with the mayors
daughter. His suit was Immediately sue
cessful so far as the lady was concerned, but
Mayor Loomis was an august parsonage. .whe
looked askance at the seedy young lawyer
and his prospects. This setback put the
spur to Walters pride and his energy, and
he forthwith determined to be a bigger man
than the mayor of New London, or perish in
the attempt. Mayor Loomis was credited
with a yearning for the goyernorship, but
he had to stand aside and see it go to his
would-be son-in-law. And by and by Mr..
Waller was mentioned for the vice preSiden-
cy, made national reputation, and was as
signed to an important place in the diplo-
matte service. 1t is said that Mr.. Loomis
feels an eternal regret for his mistake in

storm struck the mountains, moving In a
